I usually don’t use foundations and other off the drugstore shelf. In my
past purchasing experience they don’t deliver what they claim. I’m not sure if
it’s an age thing, maybe these products only look great on the 20 year old they have
pictured in the ad. Olay of Olay does go out of its way to picture older models
when promoting their anti aging product, bless them for that. Check the link out. I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce, Olay’s Celebrity Makeup Artist, Lucky Magazine FABB Event this year.

On me the foundations are either to light, orange or cake in every fine
line and emphasize the fact that my skin is aging! Now I get Photofacials,
Hydo-facials, I use Roc Retinol cream all in an effort to slow the skins aging;
I do understand what product works for my skin type. I don’t claim to
understand all skin type but I’m sure some of you know the frustration
combating aging skin can be.
Enough of my rant! I’ve decided to try Olay of Olay CC
Some of the claims are a bit far fetch and some deliver.
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles-
Companies just need to
stop the lies. It may reduce fine lines on a 20- 35 year old, but any age above
that – doubt it!
- Balances and even out tone
I would say a little. Not
as great as my MAC.
Yes it did reduce the appearance
of my freckles
Yet to be seen. I will have to call the ? line,
to ask what type of time frame for the exfoliation to happen and the ingredient
that aids in this claim. I can’t seem to locate the ingredient that does this in
the product list.
Yes it does feel moist and mask like, with a slight tightening feel to it. I like this anything that firms it up
Ok nothing can recapture
your youthful glow that’s just a load of Cr—p.
I will say it has a
highlighting quality but I won’t say my youthful glow has been reclaimed.
Is it different then my La
Mer Tinted moisturizer with a broad spectrum spf 18 in Light 02- definitely two
different animals. The La Mer is a more sheer and a lighter feeling product. I
like the color better than the Olay CC because it’s not as white. However the firming
effect and softening of the spots was a plus over the La Mer.
Give it a try for
yourself. I would love to hear your point of view.
